Highlights from this past weekend! . Ian Webster rode the winning bike leg for his team at the Capitol City Challenge Relay in Charleston WV this weekend! Looking sharp in the WV State Champs skin suit! . Matthew Mix took 2nd in his age group and 5th overall at the Rev3 Adventure Trail Mix 10k in VA! . Rhandie Thompson took 4th at the Velobrew A/V Home Crit in Florida after lapping the field in a mid race breakaway! Great way to end his season on a high note! . I had the opportunity to travel to the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival in WI with David Flaten this past weekend and experience his favorite race first hand. 40 miles of x country ski trails and fire roads with 2,000 starters in muddy conditions was quite the experience. . We both ran into a bit of adversity, but he persevered with a super strong 8th place finish! I had a great time meeting his family and visiting his old stomping grounds and was happy to have survived the race! #cheq40 #cyclingphotos #cycling #coachinglife

Great weekend for Otterhaus athletes! Rob Coffey (pictured top) fresh off his first Ironman finish at IRONMAN Mont Tremblant a few weeks ago, took part in the 100k Caribou Charity Ride for Cancer outside of Thunder Bay Ontario and finished strongly with the leaders in the main group (6th fastest time overall!) Patty Cohen, (pictured bottom somewhere in the water :-)) made a return to triathlon racing at the Appalachian Du/Triathlon to Fight Cancer in Neola, WV after an extended period off. She won her age group, finished 2nd overall (by just 4 seconds!) and had the fastest women's swim and bike splits (on a road bike!). Fantastic result and great to see her excited to return to the sport. Wes Anderson battled oppressively hot and humid conditions to finish the Piranha Sports Diamondman Challenge Half Ironman Triathlon in Bear, Delaware. He set a personal best for the swim (by almost 10 minutes!) and got some great training in (and bonus heat acclimation) on his way towards a fall full Ironman! #coaching #coachlife #triathlon

Good times with this crew at the The Green Mountain Stage Race​ in VT this weekend. Sunny Gill competed in a tough Category 2 field and picked up top 15 finishes in the circuit race and criterium. Stefan Zavislan and Jay ShalekBriski contested the Pro/Cat 1 race with a super competitive field. Jay picked up a top 20 finish in the crit and contributed significantly to Stefan picking up 17th on the queen stage (95 miles and over 8000 ft of climbing) and 19th on the general classification after 4 days of racing. Really hard racing from all these guys and great to see Stefan's progression, 2 years ago he was contesting the Cat 2 race and finished in almost exactly the same place, now he is doing it in the main event. Huge thanks to Joanna ShalekBriski for helping with photo and feed support. □: Joanna ShalekBriski, Heather Alleman and GMSR #cyclingphotos #coachinglife #roadcycling #gmsr #progression #raisethebar
